Abstract
Description
- This application is the U.S. national stage of PCT/JP2018/017884 filed May 9, 2018, which claims priority of Japanese Patent Application No. JP 2017-098980 filed May 18, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein.
- The technology disclosed herein relates to an electrical junction box.
- As an apparatus for transmitting and interrupting current to in-vehicle electrical components, there has been conventionally known an electrical junction box that includes a circuit board on which various electronic components are mounted in a case.
- Some of the electronic components mounted on the board in such an electrical junction box include a relatively large one, such as an inductor, which is connected to the conductive circuit on the board by soldering its terminal. However, the large electronic component is fixed by a separately provided fixing means because the electronic component connected only by the solder may become cracked due to vibration during running or the like. Specifically, the electronic component is fixed to the board with an adhesive applied to the periphery of the bottom surface of the electronic component or is mechanically fixed to the board by screwing or leaf springs.
- However, in the configuration using the adhesive, it is necessary to provide a wider application area while avoiding other parts to prevent influence on the other parts. In addition, when the electronic component is to be mechanically fixed with screws or leaf springs, it is necessary to newly provide areas for fastening the screws or leaf springs on the board. Such fixing means becomes a factor to disturb the densification of the circuit board, and accordingly miniaturization of the electrical junction box.
- Thus, a holding wall may be provided in the case such as a cover or a frame to surround and hold the electronic component. However, if there is a gap between the electronic component and the holding wall, the electronic component may rattle in the holding wall due to vibration from the vehicle and become deteriorated in connection reliability.
- The technology disclosed herein has been completed under circumstances as describe above. An object of the technology is to provide an electrical junction box that is small in size and high in connection reliability and suppresses rattling of an electronic component.
- The technology disclosed herein is an electrical junction box that includes: a circuit board to which an electronic component is connected; and a frame positioned with respect to the circuit board. The frame integrally includes a sub frame that surrounds at least part of a periphery of the electronic component. The sub frame is provided with a holding portion that holds the electronic component in the holding portion.
- According to this configuration, since the electronic component is firmly held by the holding portion provided in the sub frame, this suppresses rattling of the electronic component due to vibration. In addition, since the holding portion is provided in the sub frame provided integrated in the frame, there is no need to newly set an area for providing a fixing means for fixing the electronic component on the circuit board. This makes it possible to miniaturize the circuit board, and thus miniaturize the electrical junction box.
- The electrical junction box may be configured as described below.
- The holding portion may be a groove portion into which a protrusion portion on the electronic component is fitted.
- The electronic component may include a coil having a wound portion around which a winding wire is wound, a magnetic core, and a bobbin disposed between the coil and the magnetic core. The protrusion portion may be the bobbin that protrudes from the coil and the magnetic core.
- According to this configuration, it is possible to implement a specific form of the holding portion.
- The holding portion may be a support portion that is interposed between the electronic component and the circuit board to support the electronic component from the circuit board side.
- According to this configuration, even if the electronic component is large and heavy such as an inductor, for example, the support portion can suppress the rattling of the electronic component and maintain connection reliability.
- The electronic component may include a coil having a wound portion around which a winding wire is wound in an annular shape. An axis of the wound portion may be arranged along the circuit board.

FIGS. 1 to 11 . Anelectrical junction box 10 of the present embodiment is disposed between a power source such as a battery and in-vehicle electrical components such as a lamp and a motor, and passes and interrupts power supplied from the power source to the in-vehicle electrical components. In the following description, the upper side ofFIG. 4 is regarded as the front side or the upper side, and the lower side ofFIG. 4 is regarded as the back side or the lower side. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 1 and 4 , theelectrical junction box 10 includes acircuit board 11, aheatsink 50 disposed on the back surface (the lower surface inFIG. 4 ) of thecircuit board 11, and aframe 60 positioned with respect to thecircuit board 11, and a cover (not shown) that covers thecircuit board 11 from the side opposite to the heatsink 50 (the upper side ofFIGS. 1 and 4 ). - The
circuit board 11 is structured such that a conductive circuit (not shown) is formed on an insulating substrate by a printed wiring technique, and a plurality of electronic components is mounted at predetermined positions on the conductive circuit. The plurality of electronic components is connected to one surface (front surface) of thecircuit board 11. - The
circuit board 11 is substantially rectangular in shape, and has a plurality of connection throughholes 12 provided at predetermined positions. These connection throughholes 12 are intended for connecting electronic components to the conductive circuit, and the electronic components are connected to the conductive circuit in the connection throughholes 12 by a known method such as soldering, for example. - In relation to the present embodiment, among the plurality of electronic components, only a relatively
large inductor 20 is illustrated and other electronic components are omitted in the drawings. - The
inductor 20 used in the present embodiment has a coupled inductor structure, and includes a pair ofcoils 21 formed by winding a winding wire, amagnetic core 30, and abobbin 40. - Each of the
coils 21 is anedgewise coil 21 formed by winding a rectangular wire in an edgewise and annular shape. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 5 , each of thecoils 21 is formed from awound portion 22 that is wound in a cylindrical shape as a whole, and a pair oflead terminals 23 that is extended from both ends of thewound portion 22 as seen in an axial direction L to the same direction (downward direction) and in parallel to each other and is connected to the conductive circuit. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 4 to 6 , themagnetic core 30 is formed by combining a pair offirst core 30A andsecond core 30B having the same shape and size. Thefirst core 30A and thesecond core 30B each have a substantially oval thick plate-shaped core-sidebottom wall portion 31, and are arranged such that the core-sidebottom wall portions 31 are opposed to each other. - A pair of
columnar side legs 32 is provided at both longitudinal ends of each core-sidebottom wall portion 31 and is extended toward the opposed core (seeFIG. 4 ). In addition, a plate-shapedcentral leg 33 is provided at the central portion of each core-sidebottom wall portion 31 so as to face the opposed core and extend along a short direction. Thecentral leg 33 has thick end portions along the side surfaces of thewound portions 22 in a state where thewound portions 22 of thecoils 21 are arranged around theside legs 32. In addition, the areas where thelead terminals 23 are arranged in the end portions of thecentral leg 33 constituteescape portions 34 that are cut out to allow thelead terminals 23 to escape (seeFIG. 5 ). - The rising dimension (height dimension) of the
side legs 32 and thecentral leg 33 from the core-sidebottom wall portion 31 is set such that theside leg 32 is slightly longer. Thus, in a state where the pair offirst core 30A andsecond core 30B is combined, the end surfaces of thecentral legs 33 opposed to each other are separated from each other to form a gap. - The
bobbin 40 is interposed between thecoil 21 and themagnetic core 30. Thebobbin 40 is made of an insulating resin. As illustrated inFIGS. 5 and 6 , thebobbin 40 is formed from a pair offirst bobbin body 40A andsecond bobbin body 40B of the same shape and the same size that is disposed at both ends of thewound portion 22 of thecoil 21 as viewed from an axial direction L. - The
first bobbin body 40A and thesecond bobbin body 40B each have a plate-shaped bobbin-sidebottom wall portion 41. As illustrated inFIG. 7 , each of the bobbin-sidebottom wall portions 41 has a slightly horizontally long, substantially rectangular shape with chamfered corner portions. Among the four corner portions, a pair of corner portions adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction (the lower corner portions illustrated inFIG. 7 ) constitutescutout portions 42 that are cut out inward in a substantially rectangular shape. - In addition, out of the pair of
cutout portions 42, one cutout portion 42 (on the right side ofFIG. 7 ) has a restrictive protrudingpiece 43 that rises vertically from the plate surface of the bobbin-sidebottom wall portion 41 at a corner on one side as viewed from the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction inFIG. 7 ) (seeFIG. 8 ). As illustrated inFIG. 6 , the restrictive protrudingpiece 43 is set to have a height dimension that is approximately half the height dimension of thewound portion 22 of thecoil 21. The restrictive protrudingpiece 43 has a sloped shape that is cut obliquely such that the surface on thecutout portion 42 side becomes thinner toward the tip. - Each of the bobbin-side
bottom wall portions 41 has ahole 44 for penetration of thecolumnar side leg 32 of themagnetic core 30 at the center thereof. Acylindrical division wall 45 is provided at the hole edge of thehole 44 to rise in the same direction as the restrictive protrudingpiece 43. The projecting dimensions of thedivision wall 45 and the restrictive protrudingpiece 43 from the bobbin-sidebottom wall portion 41 are the same. - Locking
portions 46 are provided at both ends of thedivision wall 45 as seen in the alignment direction of the cutout portions 42 (the horizontal direction inFIG. 7 ). Specifically, an elongated rectangular bar-like locking projection 47 is provided at the end on the right side ofFIG. 7 (seeFIG. 8 ), and alocking recess 48 is provided at the end on the left side ofFIG. 7 into which the opposed lockingprojection 47 of thesecond bobbin body 40B is to be fitted. The pair ofbobbin bodies projection 47 and the lockingrecess 48. - On the surface of the bobbin-side
bottom wall portion 41 opposite to the surface on which thedivision wall 45 is raised, as illustrated inFIGS. 5 and 8 , a pair ofsupport protrusions 49 is provided to protrude outward from the vertical edges of thehole 44. The pair ofsupport protrusions 49 is intended for positioning themagnetic core 30 by contact with the side surface of themagnetic core 30 to prevent the rotation of themagnetic core 30. -
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate theinductor 20 in which thecoils 21, themagnetic core 30, and thebobbin 40 are assembled. Theinductor 20 is formed such that the pair ofcoils 21 is arranged side by side with the axis L of thewound portions 22 oriented to be parallel and horizontal, and each of thecoils 21 is sandwiched in the bobbin 40 (between thefirst bobbin body 40A and thesecond bobbin body 40B), and each of thecoils 21 is collectively sandwiched in the magnetic core 30 (between thefirst core 30A and thesecond core 30B) from the outside. - The pair of
bobbin bodies projection 47 and the locking recess 48) provided on thedivision wall 45. Thus, thewound portion 22 of thecoil 21 is sandwiched between the pair of bobbin-sidebottom wall portions 41. Further, the pair ofcores bobbin 40 by thesupport protrusion 49, and is bonded together with theside legs 32 abutted. - In this assembled state, the
wound portions 22 of the pair ofcoils 21 are arranged around theside legs 32 of thefirst core 30A and thesecond core 30B with thedivision wall 45 of thebobbin 40 therebetween. In addition, two pairs (four) oflead terminals 23 in the pair ofcoils 21 are extended in the same direction (downward inFIG. 5 ) while avoiding interference with themagnetic core 30 by theescape portion 34 of themagnetic core 30. Thecentral legs 33 are interposed between the pair ofcoils 21 arranged side by side. At this time, the end surfaces of the pair ofcentral legs 33 facing each other are arranged apart from each other, and a gap is formed between them. - Each of the
bobbins 40 is prevented from rotating with respect to the pair offirst core 30A andsecond core 30B by thesupport protrusion 49. Further, in each of thecoils 21, thewound portion 22 is supported from the lower side by the restrictive protrudingpiece 43, and thelead terminal 23 interferes with the restrictive protrudingpiece 43, so that thecoil 21 is prevented from rotating with respect to thebobbin 40 and themagnetic core 30. - Further, in the assembled state, each of the
bobbins 40 partially protrudes outward from thecoil 21 and themagnetic core 30. Specifically, as illustrated inFIGS. 5 and 6 , thebobbin 40 hasprotrusions 41A protruding outward from thecoil 21 and themagnetic core 30 at both ends of the bobbin-sidebottom wall portion 41 as seen in the longitudinal direction of the inductor 20 (the horizontal direction inFIG. 6 ). - The
heatsink 50 is disposed on the lower surface side of thecircuit board 11. Theheatsink 50 is a heat radiating member made of a metal material excellent in thermal conductivity, such as aluminum or aluminum alloy, and has a function of radiating heat generated in thecircuit board 11. - An upper surface of the
heatsink 50 has a substantially flat plate shape, and thecircuit board 11 is disposed at a predetermined position via an insulatingsheet 55. The insulatingsheet 55 has adhesion and is fixable to thecircuit board 11 and theheatsink 50. - In areas on the upper surface of the
heatsink 50 where theinductors 20 are disposed, there are provided escape recesses 51 that are recessed downward from the upper surface to accommodate thelead terminals 23 of thecoils 21 as illustrated inFIG. 4 . The insulatingsheet 55 has penetrating escape holes (not illustrated) at positions corresponding to the escape recesses 51. - Further, on the upper surface of the
heatsink 50, there are provided projectingportions 52 that project outward in the vicinity of both end portions of the side edges extending in the longitudinal direction. These projectingportions 52 have fixingholes 52A for fastening covers (not illustrated) by bolts. - In addition, a large number of plate-shaped
fins 53 extending downward is provided on the lower surface of the heatsink 50 (seeFIG. 1 ). - The
frame 60 is made of a synthetic resin, and has a substantially rectangularouter frame 61 as illustrated inFIGS. 9 to 11 . - On one of the pair of outer
first side walls 61A extending along the short side of theouter frame 61, aterminal block 62 that projects inward to position and accommodate a plate-shaped terminal for connecting to an external terminal (not illustrated). Asub frame 63 is provided integrally with theouter frame 61 in theframe 60 at a position where theinductors 20 are disposed. In the present embodiment, the twoinductors 20 are provided side by side, and thesub frame 63 has an elongated rectangular cylindrical shape that surrounds the periphery of theseinductors 20 to fit theinductors 20 inside almost closely. - One side (the right side of
FIG. 9 ) of a pair of innerfirst side walls 63A extending along the short side of thesub frame 63 is integrated with theouter frame 61. In addition, the innerfirst side wall 63A on the other side (the left side ofFIG. 9 ) is provided with a pair of bridgingportions 64 that extends outward and is integrated with theterminal block 62. - The
sub frame 63 has apartition wall 65 dividing the interior into two regions. The pair of regions surrounded by thepartition wall 65 and thesub frame 63 constitutes afirst housing portion 66A and asecond housing portion 66B into which the twoinductors 20 are to be fit. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , thesub frame 63 has abottom wall 67 that connects to the lower end of thesub frame 63. On sides of thebottom wall 67 closer to a pair of side edges extending in the longitudinal direction (sides closer to the side edges extending in the horizontal direction inFIG. 10 ), core receiving portions 73 (an example of the support portions) shaped along the bottom surfaces of themagnetic cores 30 are provided to rise from thebottom wall 67 in a state where theinductors 20 are housed in thehousing portions holes 72 for penetration of thelead terminals 23 are formed in thebottom wall 67 at positions corresponding to thelead terminals 23 in a state where theinductors 20 are housed in thehousing portions holes 72 have a tapered shape in which the hole edge on the upper end side expands outward. - At four corners of the
bottom wall 67 of thefirst housing portion 66A and thesecond housing portions 66B, there are provided projectingportions 68 that project inward and extend in the vertical direction (seeFIG. 10 ). These projectingportions 68 are in contact with the side surfaces of themagnetic cores 30 in a state where theinductors 20 are housed in thehousing portions housing portions FIG. 2 ). - Note that the height dimension of the
sub frame 63 is set to be enough for accommodating up to the upper surfaces of theinductors 20, and to be larger than the height dimension of theouter frame 61 such that thesub frame 63 protrudes upward from the outer frame 61 (seeFIG. 3 ). - On the lower surfaces of the four corners of the
outer frame 61,legs 69 are provided to protrude downward as illustrated inFIG. 11 . In addition, next to the pair oflegs 69 on the outerfirst side wall 61A with theterminal block 62, there is provided positioningconvex portions 70 that protrude toward the heatsink 50 (downward). When these positioningconvex portions 70 are fitted into positioning concave portions (not illustrated) provided on the upper surface of theheatsink 50, theframe 60 is positioned with respect to theheatsink 50. - The
sub frame 63 includes holding portions that hold theinductors 20 at predetermined positions with respect to thecircuit board 11. More specifically, there is provided a pair of holdinggrooves 71 for fitting theprotrusions 41A of thebobbin 40 side by side in the innerfirst side wall 63A and thepartition wall 65 of thesub frame 63. The holdinggroove 71 is formed in a groove shape that extends downward from the upper end surfaces of thesub frame 63 and thepartition wall 65 and opens toward the inside of each of thehousing portions FIG. 9 ). - The configuration of the
electrical junction box 10 of the present embodiment has been described so far. Next, the operations and effects of theelectrical junction box 10 will be described. - In the
electrical junction box 10 of the present embodiment, theframe 60 is integrally provided with thesub frame 63 surrounding the periphery of theinductors 20, and the outwardly protrudingprotrusions 41A of thebobbins 40 in theinductors 20 are fitted into the holdinggrooves 71 in thesub frame 63. - According to this configuration, in order to house the
inductors 20 in thehousing portions protrusions 41A enter into the holdinggrooves 71 such that theinductors 20 are guided in a normal posture. In addition, each of theinductors 20 is configured such that the pair oflead terminals 23 in the vertically oriented coils 21 are inserted into the terminal throughholes 72 in thebottom wall 67, themagnetic core 30 is supported by thecore receiving portion 73, and theprotrusions 41A are fitted into the holdinggrooves 71 such that theinductor 20 is firmly held in thesub frame 63. This suppresses theinductors 20 from rattling on thecircuit board 11 due to vibration of the vehicle. - Moreover, the holding portions, that is, the holding
grooves 71 into which theprotrusions 41A are fitted, are formed in thesub frame 63 integrated with theframe 60, so that there is no need to newly set an area for providing a fixing means for fixing theinductors 20 on thecircuit board 11. - That is, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain the
electrical junction box 10 that is small-sized and has high connection reliability. - Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to
FIGS. 12 to 17 . - Hereinafter, only the components different from those of the first embodiment will be described. The same components as those of the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference symbols, and redundant description will be omitted.
- An
inductor 200 of the present embodiment is different from theinductor 20 of the first embodiment in that thebobbin 40 is not provided (seeFIG. 15 ). In addition, the configurations ofcoils 21 and amagnetic core 30 are the same as those of theinductor 20 of the first embodiment. Since thebobbin 40 is not provided, thecoils 21 and themagnetic core 30 are not relatively positioned, and thecoils 21 are movably disposed aroundside legs 32 of themagnetic core 30. - Further, a
sub frame 63 of aframe 600 of the present embodiment is different from theframe 60 of the first embodiment in that the holdinggrooves 71 are not provided. - Furthermore, the
frame 600 of the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that coil receiving portions 74 (an example of a holding portion and a support portion) are provided on an upper surface of abottom wall 67 that is continuous with a lower end of thesub frame 63. Each of thecoil receiving portion 74 has a curved surface shape along a side surface of awound portion 22 of the correspondingcoil 21 extending in an axial direction L (seeFIG. 14 ). Further, a width of thecoil receiving portion 74 as seen in the vertical direction inFIG. 17 is set to a dimension that allows thewound portion 22 to be fitted tightly (substantially the same as the height dimension of the wound portion 22). - Further, the
coil receiving portions 74 have terminal throughholes 72 for penetration oflead terminals 23 at predetermined positions. By the terminal throughholes 72, thecoils 21 are oriented in a normal direction. - When the
inductors 200 are fitted intohousing portions magnetic cores 30 are supported from acircuit board 11 side bycore receiving portions 73, and thewound portions 22 of thecoils 21 are supported from thecircuit board 11 side by thecoil receiving portions 74. Thereby, thecoils 21 are positioned relative to themagnetic cores 30, and rattling of theinductors 200 in thehousing portions - According to this configuration, even when a large heavy electronic component such as the
inductors 200 is connected to thecircuit board 11, thecoil receiving portions 74 and thecore receiving portions 73 suppress the rattling of thecoils 21 and the cores. This maintains connection reliability. - Further, the
coil receiving portions 74 have a curved surface shape along the side surface of thewound portion 22 extending in the axial direction L such that thecoils 21 can be held more reliably without rattling. - Furthermore, even in the absence of the bobbins, the
coils 21 and themagnetic cores 30 are positioned in the installed state, which reduces the number of parts and improves workability. - The technology disclosed herein is not limited to the embodiments described above and illustrated in the drawings. For example, the following embodiments also fall within the technical scope of the technology:
- In the above embodiments, the
inductors bottom wall 67 of thesub frame 63 can be omitted. - In the above embodiments, the
sub frame 63 has a peripheral wall shape that surrounds the entire periphery of theinductors sub frame 63 may be cut partially. - In the above embodiments, the holding portions are the groove portions (the holding grooves 71) or the support portions (the
core receiving portions 73 and the coil receiving portions 74) as an example. However, the configuration of the holding portions is limited to that in the above embodiments. Instead, the configuration of the holding portions can be arbitrarily changed according to the form of the electronic components to be held, for example, such that the holding portions protrude inward from the side walls of thesub frame 63 to hold part of the electronic components. - In the above embodiments, the
inductors
